MyPortion is an independent NSF Labs planning guide, not an official Watchtower or jw.org product. It supplements personal study and family worship, not normal meeting preparation. The individual or family head remains responsible for study decisions. Recording requires lawful permission; public posting of app-related materials is prohibited under the License and Responsible Use Agreement.
Version 2026-11-09. Effective November 9, 2026.
1. Independent application and acceptance
This agreement is between you and NSF Labs, the independent developer of MyPortion. MyPortion is made by a Jehovah’s Witness for Jehovah’s Witnesses. That description expresses the developer’s intended audience, not organizational approval. MyPortion is not an official product of, affiliated with, sponsored, sanctioned, or endorsed by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, jw.org, any branch office, or their cooperating entities. Their names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Directions in this agreement are NSF Labs’ conditions for using MyPortion, not instructions issued on behalf of those organizations.
By selecting “I agree and continue,” you accept this agreement and acknowledge that the Privacy Policy has been made available to you. If you do not agree, do not use MyPortion. You can leave the agreement screen without accepting. A parent or legal guardian must authorize use by someone who cannot legally enter this agreement and supervise that use.
2. A planning guide, not a replacement
MyPortion is a guide to help an individual or family head plan personal study and family worship. It supports, rather than replaces, your own study, judgment, household responsibilities, and decisions. The individual or family head retains responsibility and the final decision about the household’s study arrangements; no suggestion overrides the rights or responsibilities of other people.
Continue your normal preparation for the midweek meeting, weekend meeting, and Watchtower Study. MyPortion is not intended to replace that preparation or repeat those meetings within the app. Suggested agenda items support the needs and priorities you enter in your profile and topics discussed during the weekly meetings. Meeting summaries and topic connections are planning context, not substitutes for reading the original publications. You may customize or disregard suggestions. AI-generated explanations, transcripts, and summaries can be inaccurate; compare them with the original sources. The app is not professional, medical, legal, emergency, or organizational advice.
3. Recording restrictions
You agree not to use MyPortion to record talks, meetings, private conversations, or any other audio when doing so is unlawful, unauthorized, or contrary to applicable confidentiality or privacy obligations. Obtain all permissions and consent required by law and by the people responsible for the event or premises before recording, importing, transcribing, or sharing audio.
Do not record when speakers, participants, congregation representatives, event organizers, or those responsible for the premises have asked you not to record. Do not use recording or other app features where electronic devices are prohibited or where you have been asked not to use them. Do not record covertly, evade a restriction, or continue after permission is withdrawn. Stop recording when permission is uncertain. Permission to attend or listen does not itself grant permission to record, transcribe, or distribute. These conditions also apply to imported recordings. MyPortion cannot determine whether you have permission; you remain responsible for your conduct.
4. No public posting or redistribution
As a condition of using MyPortion, you agree not to upload, publish, broadcast, or redistribute material supplied, accessed, imported, recorded, or generated through the app on social media, public websites, video or audio platforms, public file-sharing services, or other online public channels. Do not use exports or screenshots to bypass this restriction. In particular, do not repost publications, extracts, artwork, audio, video, transcripts, or summaries of others’ material.
Export and calendar controls are for your authorized personal or household use, not public distribution. Share privately only where you have the necessary rights and permissions, respect the original provider’s terms, and check recipients and calendar visibility. This agreement grants no rights in third-party content. Where permitted by the source’s terms, direct someone to the original official jw.org link instead of reposting the material. Your pre-existing rights in your own original content are not transferred to NSF Labs.
5. Sources, links, and imports
The app-provided study-resource catalog links exclusively to jw.org. Selecting a suggested resource opens its official web page so you can preview or obtain the original material there. MyPortion does not bundle the full linked publications, videos, or audio as a replacement distribution of that library. It does include resource titles, references, themes, planning metadata, and summaries; these are not the original publications or an official interpretation of them.
You may import material for your own authorized use, subject to copyright, privacy, and the source provider’s terms. Import only what you are entitled to use; importing a file does not give you redistribution rights. User-imported documents and their embedded links are user-selected and are not certified by NSF Labs. The source-link statement concerns the supplied study catalog: separate links and connections for NSF Labs support and legal information, app stores, model downloads, and system services are described in the Privacy Policy. Official resources remain subject to jw.org’s own terms of use, available at https://www.jw.org/en/terms-of-use/.
6. License and responsible operation
Subject to this agreement and applicable store terms, NSF Labs grants you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use MyPortion on devices you own or control for personal and household study. Do not sell, sublicense, unlawfully copy, tamper with, or misuse the app; do not bypass security or infringe another person’s rights. Exceptions required by law and licenses for open-source components remain effective. Third-party services and content have their own terms. You retain responsibility for device security, storage, backups, and the permissions you grant.
7. Privacy, changes, and termination
The Privacy Policy explains local storage, recordings, AI processing, downloads, permissions, exports, backups, and support. Accepting this agreement does not grant microphone or calendar permission; those are separately controlled through the operating system. The app records the accepted agreement version and time locally. It does not send your acceptance to NSF Labs.
You may stop using the app at any time. If you breach this agreement, your license to use the app terminates to the extent permitted by law; stop using it. NSF Labs does not remotely erase your private files. Export or preserve content you are entitled to keep and manage deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. Material revisions will be identified by a new version and presented for acceptance before continued use.
8. Availability, warranties, and liability
The app is provided as available. To the extent permitted by applicable law, NSF Labs disclaims implied warranties and does not promise uninterrupted service, error-free suggestions, accurate transcription, preservation of data, or continued availability of linked material. To that same extent, NSF Labs is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use or inability to use the app. Nothing excludes liability or limits warranties, refunds, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. No arbitration requirement or waiver of mandatory consumer protections is imposed by this agreement.
9. App-store terms and contact
Apple’s standard software license and applicable Apple usage rules continue to govern the iOS/iPadOS app; this agreement adds MyPortion-specific conduct conditions and does not replace that store license. Google Play’s applicable terms also remain effective. Mandatory law and nonwaivable platform protections prevail over conflicting wording. Store purchase and refund rights are unaffected. Apple’s standard license is available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.
For questions, support, complaints, or rights concerns, contact NSF Labs at info@nsflabs.org. NSF Labs is responsible for this independent app and its support; religious organizations named above are not its support providers.
